to quickly answer that, yes there is a physical, and you must meet certain requirements, but pretty much if you can walk to the MEPS building, you are going to pass the physical...

and as for women in the infantry, i personally dont know any women qualified to go in, but if they could, i would welcome the day.

but to be fair, there are males who do not qualify for infantry duty as well. and besides, not everyone registered for the draft get in, some arent fit enough, or have other ways of getting out....

that, and a quick clarification, i am going into the military, but not Army, im going into the Air Force
